as writers, we dont get the privilege of seeing our work the way others see it. We have this tendency to over criticize our own art, thinking it is and never will be good enough. But then we keep on going. There’s something about writing that drives you insane at the same time it keeps you sane.

Haha.. I was just trying to go deep in my tagalog but I feel however I dive deep into the water, my ass stays afloat. Yes, our tagalog here in Mindanao is worse. Aside from the fact that it was much adulterated by the Visayan and Moro dialects, we don’t speak it correctly most of the time. For example, rather than say “sasama ka sa akin”. we say “magsama ka sa akin”.. “halina’t kumain na tayo”, we say “dali, magkain na tayo”.

My father is from Bacolod. So basically, when he and his sisters and brothers gather they will surely speak their dialect which is probably similar to yours. Unfortunately I don’t understand Visaya because they never taught me. But then, I really understand where you’re coming from.

Thanks for stopping by and following my blog, too! I’m hoping to get my Tagalog proficiency up by reading yours! Ha! At any rate, I think I have a grasp of what you bring up and really like what I’ve read so far. 🙂

thank you for visiting my blog. i’d been one of your followers for sometime now. i may not visit often, but when i do, i spend a lot of time reading your stuff. your blog is one of those that make me feel welcome. it’s like being home. KOTGW.

Aha! I see you’re also attempting to learn German! “Guten Morgen!”
I like your blog so far, and love that you described your brain as “chocolate hodge-podge”! That’s what I’d call mine, too! Happy blogging!

Thank you! I try to write in English as much as I could so every one who would randomly pass by can understand what I’m writing about. But there are just few things that I cannot translate in English so I have to write them in Tagalog 🙂

Yes it is cool to learn a new language. Which language are you learning?

I am learning Japanese since it is very different from my mother tongue… It is difficult but I love it somehow… 🙂

Your blog is fun to read and I have read a few Filipino blogs before but I don’t remember their names now.. It used to be fun to see something being shared from different cultures 🙂
Have fun writing.. see you

You have a beautiful voice. I am not just saying that. Now some of the notes were off a little, but that is like me writing, my grammar is off sometimes. So I know it is a challenge. I encourage you to get more serious with it with a vocal trainer because you have the talent and your voice is lovely, just lovely. I hope nothing I said offends you, it shouldn’t in the least. It is because I believe in you for this that I am honest with you.
